Whats the best Blow Torch to get?

You can get an adapter for the primus bottles. You can then hammer nails in with it

My favourite torch at the moment has to be the Express Vulcane. Light wieght, wrap around flame, quick release interchangeable nozzles. MAPP or propane gas, lots of extras and spares available.

I use my turbo torch extreme for most jobs. it has a nice size flame and is very fast,brought mine off ebay for £30 including postage from usa, bargin. I still use my very first standard primus 2000 torch when working in close quarters to avoid buring wall paper, timbers etc.... On the odd bigger job the big bottle,hose and gun comes out of storage though its usually on a boiling ring to mek the tea.

I use a turbo torch- I cant fault it. Better than my old super fire 2 and a little cheaper to buy

I use a Benzomatic, they are very good and I can honestly say I have had no trouble with it (It was handed down to me so its a bit scratty)

As long as you look after them, I think they are worth the investment.

Defo recommend the Rothenberger SF 2, great torch. I know you can also buy the new SF 3 online, never used one but I think you have to buy gas refills that only fit that torch so probs one to steer clear of for the time being.

im currently using the turbo torch extreme for the last couple of years and have been very happy with it although the piezo is starting to play up, am thinking of trying the bullfynch one from bes similar to the turbo torch. ive been through bout 2 or 3 superfire 2s and found them to fall apart to easily for my liking.

ive got the monument gasex at the moment. nice neat flame, doesnt feel like youve got a flame thrower.
